Hi everyone, i have no urge to driink/use at the moment, but my current living arrangement is unhealthy in the way that I am experiencing a lot of verbal and mental abuse from my Mother. She is so angry at me, (with every right) she told me meetings were just a way to meet men to have sex with, and find people to use with. I've been on the phone all morning trying to get into transitional living, but everyone has a waiting list, or are cost prohibitive. any suggestions? Bottom line I'm making my mother mentally ill by being here. I have 12 yr old twins, and they don't need to be sbject to this. I only came home from treatment yeasterday by the way
I ALSO NEED A TEMP SPONSOR!!!!!!

Tracy,Keep trying to find different living situation,You're kids don't need to hear your mother saying that crap.The meetings are for recovery not to find sexual partners.You're mom probably needs some help but its not you're fault.I would worry about yourself and your twins.Finding a sponsor will also help,if you find the one you picked to be your sponsor doesn't work you can get another one.Find one who has a positive attitude , not a tyrant .Hope things get better.Were all here to help each other.

Opinions are like buttholes.....everybody's got one.... Here's mine.
Slow down. Breathe. Pray. Ask your higher power for strength and guidance. Have faith in Him. Let Him do for you what you cannot do for yourself. Make meetings, and ask for help. Turn off the ass kicking machine. You gain nothing by beating yourself up. Accept that you are right where you are supposed to be. Don't seek to be rescued. It just moves your desperation to a new address. Be patient. "We didn't become addicted in one day so remember, EASY DOES IT. Seriously. You need to slow down and give yourself some time to get grounded. Meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Don't be afraid to ask for help. get phone numbers and call them. Peace.
